IRASadPanda, You seem to always spread misinformation (just remembered when you said gapps had to reflashed every upgrade). Hardware acceleration works and it has been the case for the last 2 month at least. xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=20061996#post20061996. This is the guys from xda who got it working, cm team had it working even before that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sunster:
Facepalm..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
LOL the CM installer wipes system, of course you have to reflash Gapps. Hardware Acceleration wasn't actually working until a few days ago, before that it was just a hack to even make the system usable. Maybe you're just misinformed. If I was spreading misinformation, why would I have so many thanks for being here for less than 3 months

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
Hardware acceleration actually doesn't work for the most part. It's just a dirty hack right now, that's why some games and apps made for ICS don't work on that build because HA isn't fully implemented because there's no source from nvidia.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] m00nman:
Well, sorry about h/w acceleration, it said it was working... But gapps don't get wiped because when you upgrade there's a script that saves gaps and reinstalls when you upgrade
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fiveseven808:
CM9 (KANG1) seems to get insane battery life for me! Either that or I have less programs on my CM9 install so it eats up less battery... CM7 kills my 1980mah battery in 12 hours or less... :\

Truth.

Flashing nightlies over nightlies doesn't require gapps reinstall.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
I see, but obviously; if you don't have them and they aren't in system, you should probably reflash them. Sorry if I came off as hostile before.

I just installed nightly 221. So far so good. Coming from 218, which had a few random freezes requiring a battery pull. Hoping for the best...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
I think that may only be for official nightlies, maybe when compiling from source it doesn't add it automagically because it may not be compatible with the ROM you're using.

I take it the video camera force closes for everyone after a couple seconds? Or is there something I'm missing?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mrbo:
Are you talking about CM7 or CM9? This thread has been hijacked a bit, lately. In CM7, the camera definitely does not force close. CM9, I don't know. Hadn't tried it personally, but early reports suggested that it indeed force closed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hhwong:
I am pretty sure he is talking about cm9. cm7 camera works perfectly without any issues, well if you are super picky you can say the camera frames arent smooth enough but changing it to sport mode and back to auto is gonna fix it anyways.

And for cm9, yes the camera crash very often in video mode, basically avoid it like plague. However the photo mode works fairly well, if you cant stand the random crash, use camera 360 as a replacement for now. It is very stable on cm9 as of right now.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Creampuffyness:
Sorry I should has specified. But being a CM7 thread I was talking about CM7. When I flashed nightly 220 the video camera would not load at all, just FC. That was a clean install being the first CM I tried on G2x. I flashed 221 over it only wiping cache and Davlik. 221 loaded the video camera, but FC'd after 10 seconds of recording and did not save the video. I will do a clean install of the latest and see what happens. It is my fiance's phone and she really wants the video camera to work. Thanks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mrbo:
Hmm, that's strange. The video and still camera should work fine without any force closes. Considering that you did a 'clean' install (I assume you mean you wiped/factory reset everything and flashed the ROM) there shouldn't be any issues, but it might be worth a try to run fix_permissions from the terminal (su first). I'm currently running nightly 220, and it's very solid. The camera works fine in both still and video modes.

I've been running CM7 RC since last October. I now want to flash this latest nightly. I really need better performance and HDMI output. Better battery life would also be nice.

Does flashing #225 also flash a new kernel?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kompheak:
What ever kernel you have it will reverts back to cm kernel that comes with a new flash
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EEngineer:
Not sure if that is a yes or no

Do I need to download the Google Apps too if I already have them installed?

(sorry, haven't flashed a new ROM since October)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kompheak:
Haha. OK. .. download the rom... which you probably already have...

Wipe data factory reset

Wipe cache partition

Go into mount/unmount and format system

Install rom then boot up the phone.

Once boot let everything settle that take less than 30sec... then boot into recovery again and flash gapp

You will need to flash gapp again coming from a full wipe...

When installing cm you will have the kernel that it comes with. If you have a modified kernel right now and you do a full wipe... after installing a new rom. .. your kernel will be the one that come with the rom... so if you want to modified the kernel again. .. you will need to find that kernel and flash it again.

F this. I don't even remember october kernel... I think its still the same... I never modified kernel when I flash cm rom... I feel you dont have too
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EEngineer:
O.K., I installed the ROM from ROM Manager. Did a backup first.

ROM Manger asked me if I wanted to wipe dalvik, I clicked Yes. Wipe "data and cache", yes. Installed ROM, whoops - no apps, no data, no SMS, no contacts. No fun.

O.K., installed my backup. Ahhhh... installed #225 from ROM Manger again, only wiped dalvik cache. I now have #225.

Old kernel was CM 2.6.32.45, this kernel is 2.6.32.55.

Much Faster!!!

Graphics is a lot faster,

video is a little faster.

HDMI output is 1080p

Very stable - I've tested everything.

Battery life seems to be much worse than CM7 RC but I'm calibrating the battery so I'll see in two weeks.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] baldwinguy77:
You can check out the commit for the kernel change here: http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,10675

As you can see, one of the prebuilt kernel modules was modified, specifically "wireless.ko". This "ko" file extension belongs to Linux kernel modules ("kernel object" files) which are basically hardware drivers. I don't know too many details about the changes but basically the wireless hardware driver that the kernel loads was updated. The kernel update could also have something to do with the newly added "liblgemmdts" lib, but I'm not exactly sure. Hope that helps!

They *might be making the transition over to CM9. I saw the same thing with the NS4G. We went w/o nightly for months while Koushik issued his CM9 alpha build(s) as a base for NS/NS4G Developers to build on, something like what arcee has initiated. Maintainers *might be focusing CM9 or this *might something like a halftime before CM9. Based on what I experienced I'm leaning more toward its halftime.

Running #225 and had a problem with an incoming call today. Phone was locked, screen off. For an incoming call my G2X plays a song and vibrates. For a text message, it vibrates and whistles.

I'm at my desk and my G2X is on the desk right in front of me. It whistled as if I had a text message, then vibrated rapidly. Screen was still off. Then I heard my ringer song. Screen was still off.

I briefly pressed the power button to see the screen, I saw the incoming call screen for maybe 1/2 a second, then it went dark. I still heard the incoming call song. Briefly pressed power button, nothing. Waited a few seconds, then I finally saw the incoming call screen.

It took maybe ten seconds from when I first heard the whistle until I finally was able to answer the call.

I checked - no text message since yesterday.

Somewhere between CM7.0.3 and CM7.1 "Stay awake" screws up the booting process if you have the phone plugged in. This is bug is present on at least my N1, P999, and MT3GS. After the phone finishes booting, you have to hit the power button twice, once to make the phone sleep, and once again to wake it up like normal. I don't know the cause, or where to post this bug, but I know its a CM7 specific bug.

Disable "Stay awake" or just hit the power button twice when the phone boots while plugged in to work around the bug.

Status

I'd been running CM7 RC from back in October. I installed nightly #225 and so far it's rock solid for me, not a single important bug Except ROM Manager license still crashes.

I'd like to know the status of G2X ICS, too. Where is the official thread?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fiveseven808:
Wrong thread... but while we're here!

CM7 nightlies became official again, they're now on build 226 (unnumbered)

There are at least four current-ish ICS roms out there, all CM9 based. Hellfire, Eaglesblood, Acree's SelfKang (not very current anymore), and someone else doing nightly kangs from CM9 source.

UI Acceleration works, Camera works for most ROMs (except the unlabeled CM9 kang), Game acceleration seems to work. Touch screen tracking seems to be hit or miss (making games difficult to play), and there's no video encoding in any roms afaik (software encoding video recorders still work though).

Media decoding works on a couple roms like Hellfire and Eaglesblood iirc.

There is no official ICS thread (at least for CM9). There's a few ICS discussion threads but for the latest build I'd suggest checking here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1528349

It's not as stable or full featured as the other ICS builds, but I believe it's about as official and up to date as you're gonna get for now since it looks like it's gonna be compiled and uploaded nightly.

Check the general section for the two or three ICS discussion threads.

Changelogs for CM have stopped updating for GB nightlies as they're transitioning to CM9.
